TallyPad has been updated for iOS 5: Now a Universal App that supports AirPlay Mirroring to AppleTV in full HD.

Now a Universal App for the iPad and iPhone!

TallyPad is a feature-rich fully-customizable tally counter for the iPad and iPhone. Just tap or swipe your finger in one of the four designated boxes to add or subtract from the corresponding tally count. 

AppAdvice.com describes TallyPad as the “essential [counting app] for those dealing with multiple tallies and have power user needs.”

TallyPad is great for just about any counting project:

• Scorekeeping (especially board games like Scrabble)
• Surveys
• Tracking calories or diet points
• Counting money and loose change
• School projects
• Household Projects
• Voting and Informal elections

New in version 3.1 (with iOS 5), AirPlay Mirroring on the iPad with AppleTV and AV Out to an externmal monitor. You can now view your tallies on a TV or external monitor in full HD.

Many people use TallyPad to keep score while playing board games, like Scrabble.  Because most board games have four players, version 2.0 now has a fourth counting area.  Also new in version 2.0, you can now assign a multiplier to each counting area. The multipliers are applied to each counting area independent of the values assigned to finger gestures. This is especially great for counting coins. For example, you can assign a value to each counting area (.01, .05, .10, and .25) representing pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.  You can then assign independent values to the tapping and swiping gestures. TallyPad counts all your change and gives you a grand total at the bottom.

 What makes TallyPad different from all other counting applications is that you can assign customizable values to four different finger gestures. For example, you can set TallyPad to add 1 to the tally count for a single finger tap, 2 for a two finger tap, 5 for a vertical swipe and 10 for a horizontal swipe. You get to chose the values. Also, you are not limited to whole numbers: Just switch TallyPad to decimal or money mode to add decimal values.

Because TallyPad saves all your custom-named tallies, you can keep track of a virtually unlimited number of tallies and come back to them later. You can also assign names to the three tally categories in each tally project. Also, the TallyPad user interface was designed to allow you to add tallies by tapping and swiping without having to look down at the iPad. This way you can keep your eyes on what you are counting—not on the iPad.

TallyPad is now available on the App Store.

 

Court Days Pro rules-based calendaring app and date calculator now available from the iTunes Store

Court Days Pro is the first rules-based legal calendaring app for the iPhone and iPad. Court Days Pro provides attorneys and legal professionals with the ability to calculate dates and deadlines based on a customizable database of court rules and statutes. Once the rules are set up in the application, calculations are performed using a customizable list of court holidays.

Once you chose a triggering event (e.g., a motion hearing date) the application will display a list of all events and corresponding dates and deadlines based of trigging event (e.g., last day to file moving papers, opposition, reply briefs). Icons on the screen show the number of calendar days and court days from the current date for all resulting events. 

By default, Court Days Pro is preprogrammed with a list of all federal holidays, but is fully customizable to allow the addition or removal of any court holiday to the list (e.g., Lincoln’s Birthday in California State Court). 

Adding, deleting, and modifying rules-based events in Court Days Pro is quick and easy, and was specifically programmed to allow multi-step calculations. For example, if you are calculating the deadline for filing a regular motion in California Superior Court, you can set the application to calculate back 16 court days, plus 5 calendar days, with the last day falling backward to the next available court day, should it land on a weekend or holiday. You can set an unlimited number of calculations to be triggered by a single event. 

Date results not only appear on the screen, but can be added to the device’s native calendar app, and later revised or deleted from within Court Days Pro. Also, all results can be emailed straight from the application. 

Future versions of Court Days Pro will allow the purchase of preprogrammed rules sets for certain jurisdictions by using in-app purchasing.
